Tyre wear

Featured Replies

We get more wear on the outer edge, I always go to a very good tyre shop, buy the best tyres and have all the tracking etc done. I just think yetis eat tyres.

as stated earlier elsewhere on the forum, my tyres, Dunlop Spo1's covered about 32-34k miles, changing 'em front to back same side, the profile was flat as per new ones when changed, I have spirited moments of driving, but there are not many r/bouts here in my bit of France(western Brittany) - think that is the reason albeit the wear would be uk o/side!

Really?

Certainly not something I have found over the 5 years I've had mine.

Me neither!  Our Yeti has done 41,000 in our ownership now, in 2 years. Apart from eldest daughter ripping the sidewalls out of the two nearly new n/s tyres earlier this week, (on a rock when forced into an unlucky piece of rural roadside bank by a "white van" coming the other way), then our Yeti is getting well over 30,000 miles per tyre. Which is one of the best wear rates I've encountered on any front dive car I've owned.  Can't quote front or rear rates accurately, as like the Owners Manual (but not KwikFit) say, I do tend to swap fronts to rears at intervals.

 

Turnedlight: if your Yeti is "eating tyres", I'd be getting its geometry checked out ASAP. The Yeti has adjustment on all 4 wheels (unusual in a car in this cost category). Hence getting the alignment checked on a 4-wheels at once checker is fairly essential. Systems that just check a pair of wheels at a time don't really cut it IMO.
